Gene Details:

Functional Descriptions:

  • Site-directed genotype screening for elimination of antinutritional saponins in quinoa seeds identifies TSARL1 as a master controller of saponin biosynthesis selectively in seeds.
  • We mapped genes controlling seed saponin content to a genomic region that includes TSARL1.
  • We further could show that TSARL1 specifically controls seed saponin biosynthesis in the committed step after 2,3-oxidosqualene.
  • Our work provides new important knowledge on the function of TSARL1 and represents a breakthrough for quinoa breeding.
